Dandie Dinmont Terrier

Breed facts, pictures and detailed information on Dandie Dinmont Terrier dogs.

The Dandie Dinmont Terrier is longer than he is tall. The solid head is covered with a distinctive silky topknot. The legs are short and muscular. The head is large (but still in good proportion to the body) with a strong forehead, defined stop, and black nose. The teeth meet in a scissors bite and are large for the size of the dog. The 3 to 4 inch ears are pendant, wide near the head and tapering almost to a point. The hazel eyes are brilliant and lively, but not protruding, with a gentle, wise expression. The tail is from 8 to 10 inches (20-25 cm.) long and is carried with an upward curve. It is thick at the base and gets thicker for about 4 inches and then tapers. The unique, 2 inch (5 cm.) long crisp-textured coat contains a mixture of harsh and soft hair. The hair on the underside is softer than on the upper body, and the hair on the top of the head and upper ears is even softer and silkier. The breed comes in two colors, pepper or mustard. Mustard puppies are born dark brown and lighten into varying shades of red at adulthood. Pepper puppies are born black and tan, with a silvering gene. Adult pepper Dandies have the same coloring as the salt & pepper Schnauzer. The topknot and furnishings on pepper Dandies are silver and on mustard Dandies they are cream colored. Front dewclaws are removed when puppies are three or four days old.
